Days after multiple ELCA Facebook posts about "Trans Day of Remembrance" the denomination is at it again, this time demonizing Thanksgiving as they observe something called "National Day of Mourning" instead.
One of the ELCA's post about the so-called "National Day of Mourning" said: "Today, as family and friends gather across the nation, it is important for us to remember that for many people this is a day of mourning. As you give thanks for the blessings in your life, take some time to better understand the truths about this holiday and the Wampanoag people, learn about the Indigenous people on whose land you are gathered, and practice a land acknowledgement."

(The following article was written by Rev. Tom Brock of pastorsstudy.org. You can follow Pastor Brock on Facebook - here and Twitter - here.) The USA Today headline reads “LGBTQ bars are ‘community centers’ and hallowed spaces…”. The articles quotes Nicole Garcia, a transgender pastor of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America. This is a man who presents himself as a woman. The article says that Nicole felt safe at a drag bar where he was taught how to do his nails, style his hair, and apply makeup (although the article used female pronouns for Nicole which I cannot in full conscience do).
. The below 20 second video says it all. This is the moral compass the ELCA is offering to the world, Tragic. If you are still part of the ELCA, time to flee from this denomination. In Christ, Pastor Brock https://youtube.com/shorts/HUW4rUMkQgQ?feature=share
The ELCA views transgenderism as something to be celebrated. See below for Facebook statements made this week by the ELCA on the official ELCA account.
The Evangelical Lutheran Church in America is hurting those that struggle with understanding and accepting their given sex/gender.

My alma mater, Luther Seminary of the Evangelical Lutheran Church America, is very pro-LGBT. Luther chapel services have featured transgender and homosexual preachers and has also observed National Coming Out Day for homosexuals and the Transgender Day of Remembrance. So my old seminary is very pro-LGBT.
Look at the letter below signed by many (but not all) Luther faculty agonizing that the seminary must become more pro-gay. They are complaining because the seminary has not become an official “Reconciled in Christ” seminary, which means they have not joined a program being pushed by Reconcilingworks, an LGBT group that promotes such things. Students are now protesting during chapel worship services and, sadly, these faculty are pressuring as well. When will it end? For the pro-gay movement, you can never be pro-gay enough. Pray that Luther Seminary does not cave on this one thing it is doing right. Martin Luther believed homosexual behavior to be sinful. He would be spinning like a lathe if he could see what has become of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America which bears his name. In Christ, Pastor Tom Brock PS. Last week I took a nostalgic walk through Luther Seminary (pictures below). My former dorm room has been turned into an office bearing the pro-LGBT rainbow logo. The dorm room next door has also become an office bearing the gay rainbow sign and a picture of a woman in a yoga pose. Not a picture on the doors of Jesus or of a cross, but gay rainbows and yoga. How times have changed. I would never send anyone to an ELCA college or seminary.

"Christian Nationalism" is a made up term that is used by secular haters of Christianity and woke, liberal, progressives, who claim a form of Christianity while denying Jesus' words and truth of Scripture. The term is used to label, attack and misrepresent Christians that trust God's Word and believe in Jesus.
